Profile:
A fine wicket-keeper, who earned his chance at Test level after a series of
good performances for his native Derbyshire, Joe Humphries debuted for Derby
in 1899, but had to wait to 1902 to earn a regular place, William Storer
being the incumbent. Humphries was selected to tour Australia in 1907-08,
and was one of the successes of a difficult tour. Left out of the first two
Tests - RA Young was preferred because of supposedly superior batting
ability - he kept magnificently in the last three, standing up to Barnes,
and taking seven catches. In his first Test he came to the wicket with
England needing 73 and only two wickets remaining. He helped SF Barnes put
on 34 for the ninth wicket, and England got home by one wicket. He was
unfortunate not to earn another opportunity to represent his country, but
played for Derby until the First World War, with 545 catches, 103 stumpings
and 5436 first-class runs (DL 2001).
